Pulling current player details into Tactico.


A possession-controlling defensive midfielder in Ligue 1 whose standout quality is ball retention — possessionControl sub-score of 83.04 is the clear engine behind a Tactico Score of 73.73. Creative output is unusually high for the role (1.52 key passes/90, 0.31 assists/90, 0.36 big chances created/90), pointing to dual-phase involvement in a progressive system. Physical duel capacity (23.86) and finishing (29.1) are genuine weaknesses, but the overall profile sits comfortably in the 70-77 "good, consistent above-baseline" band.
The possessionControl sub-score of 83.04 is the primary driver, pulling the Tactico Score to 73.73 despite below-baseline scores in finishing (29.1), progression (34.62), and physical duels (23.86). The creation sub-score of 69.32 provides secondary support, reflecting the 1.52 key passes/90 and 0.31 assists/90 that are well above typical for a defensive midfielder.
Form score of 73.39 sits just 0.34 points below the Tactico Score of 73.73 — a delta of -0.3, well within the ±5 stable band. No meaningful trend concern; output has been consistent across the 27-match, 2,008-minute sample.
Both score in the 73-74 Tactico range as possession-oriented defensive midfielders with above-average creative output for the role; Wharton operates in a higher-profile league environment which adds competitive context his counterpart currently lacks.
Similar Tactico Score (73.14) and dual-phase DM profile with ball-retention strengths; André tends to contribute more in defensive volume metrics, contrasting with this player's heavier creative weighting.
Casimiro's 75.1 score reflects a comparable possession-control base in the DM role, but his physical duel and defensive sub-scores are substantially stronger — illustrating the gap this player carries in the defensive dimensions.
possessionControl sub-score of 83.04 is the highest dimension by a wide margin, underpinning a 7.55 average match rating across 2,008 minutes in Ligue 1 this season.
1.52 key passes/90 and 0.36 big chances created/90 are unusually high for a defensive midfielder; 0.31 assists/90 across 27 matches adds further weight to the dual-phase contribution.
Tackles/90 of 1.08 and clearances/90 of 0.99 meet baseline expectations for a DM but do not stand out — the defense sub-score of 40.64 sits below the 55-69 midrange, which matters for a role where defensive screening is a core expectation.
Physical duel sub-score of 23.86 is a clear weakness; aerials won/90 of 0.18 is notably low and limits effectiveness in transitions and set-piece defense — a meaningful gap for a defensive midfielder.
Progression sub-score of 34.62 indicates limited ball-carrying or line-breaking contribution beyond the pass; the player's forward impact is channelled through distribution rather than driving runs.
